Got me a tuner: Rotel RT-940AX

I've been after a tuner for my system for a while and didn't really want to pay £180 for the matching NAD C422 for my system. Had a look on Audio T's website and I noticed that the Portsmouth branch had a used Rotel RT-940AX.

These were built between 1995-2001 and retailed for aroubd £235. I paid £70 for mine, with a two-year warranty. I'm not able to put up a dedicated FM aerial where I live, so I'm just using the suppied aerial with it. The sound is excellent - clear and detailed, with none of the horrible compression that you seem to get normally with tuners.

 

Hi, nice to see you are enjoying your new tuner, I just got an old marantz 2100 off ebay, just because I wanted something different, with a traditional smooth sound...

 

Looks good and built like a tank! Will post a piccy tomorrow of mine.

 

Here's my 70's tuner porn. Any excuse to get it out

 

hmmm

Sansui...there is a name to remember... anyone else got any classic tuner pr0n ??

 

A long overdue piccy - I've changed ISPs (got broadband finally) and have only just got round to taking and uploading it:



Using the supplied 'wire' aerial with it and it sounds rather good. None of the compressed sound I've heard with FM before.
